Have you investigated the drugs possible side effects that should be listed on the manufacturer's website?

If it is only on one small spot, it may not be a big concern.
If it seems to be spreading, don't wait, go to an emergency room. They will advise you and take care of you. I have been on Lamotrigine for many years, and know the side effects as my dr described to me when I started. It may be that your first doses were a little bit too high.

I see my family doctor in 2 hours so will tell him to get me off this stuff. I am done with anti-depressants and such I've tried my fair share, and there is always an issue.
